I suspect this to be true. Especially so for this (these) series.
I am actively studying the "Laodicea" early issues (IMP II and IMP VIII) and there is much that is challenging when it comes to cataloging them....
There are several dealers who see what they think they see rather than reading the coin.
I agree with your reading of the legends. The PER-T legend break is unusual but not unheard of in this series. The bust doesn't match any that I...

I would like to say a big thank you to @Severus Alexander . I had immense amouts of fun with his "Group lot goodies" thread...

Perhaps if I pick a small selection of Diocletian and Mah Herc from the same issues and put them side by side we can try and see if it matches the...

From where do you get that there was any output from Lugdunum under Claudius II Gothicus? As far as I was aware the mint had been closed until it...
Something like RIC VIII Thessalonica 55.
Could it be Rome? RS in exe. I just thought the style was more consistent with Rome Similar in style to mine from a different issue? [IMG]
Bare headed so Gallus.
